Faraday's Research on Electrostatic Induction

The article elucidates the process of Faraday's research on electrostatic induction,discusses Faraday's research method and his scientific thought during this period,and introduces Faraday's guiding thought for electrostatic induction.In the study of electrostatic induction,Faraday takes theories as to lead first,his guiding thought comes from his research on electrolysis,Faraday's general theory of electrical phenomena comes into being,and which is a crucial step to his theory of lines of force and field theory.
